BROWN AND WILD RICE PILAF
I created this a few years ago at Thanksgiving as substitute for stuffing for the vegetarians. The whole family has adopted it, as we do not cook a whole turkey anymore, just a turkey breast. I suppose it probably could be used to stuff a turkey. It is a bit of trouble to cook the two rices and the vegetable mixture in separate pans, but I find that the taste and texture turns out much better than when I've tried to cook them together.

RICE COOKER PILAF WITH BROWN RICE, LENTILS, AND WILD RICE
This is a quick and easy pilaf with my favorite spice--cardamom! If you don't have cardamom on hand, you can omit it--the pilaf is still delicious without it. I improvised it one evening when I was short of canned chicken broth and time. I like the recipe because it combines two of my favorite rices with lentils. The lentils add protein. The dish is a perfect accompaniment to chicken baked with a generous sprinkling of cardamom.

WILD RICE AND BROWN RICE STUFFING WITH APPLES, PECANS AND CRANBERRIES
Stuffing has always been high on my list of favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Here, I wanted create a gluten-free dish based on whole grains that could go inside a bird but also stand alone. So I looked in my pantry and pulled out all the half-full bags of the different colorful types of grains that I've been working with. First I combined them in visually pleasing ways, and then I decided what else I'd put into the stuffing (or pilaf, which is what this dish really is). What is it that I love about stuffing? For me, the identifying ingredients are quite simple - celery, onion and sage. I've never cared for meaty stuffings, but I've always liked traditional bread dressings, even when the bread came from a bag. Why? Because of the sage, celery and often thyme that went along with it. Like many Thanksgiving dishes, this one combines sweet and savory foods. Apples and cranberries are high in phenolic acids, which are believed to have antioxidant properties.

Steps:
- Combine the wild rice with 4 1/2 cups stock or water in one saucepan and the brown rice with 1 1/2 cups stock or water in another smaller saucepan. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer the brown rice for 35 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat, place a clean kitchen towel over the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Simmer the wild rice for 40 to 50 minutes, until the grains have begun to splay. Drain through a strainer if there is liquid in the pot, and return to the pot. Place a clean kitchen towel over the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the grains are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and a generous pinch of salt, and continue to cook until the onion is completely tender, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, another 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cooked grains and stir together.
- Return the skillet to the stove and heat over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and when the foam subsides add the apples. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the grains. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish and cover with foil.
- Warm the stuffing in a 325-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

BROWN & WILD RICE SALAD WITH APRICOTS AND MINT
Steps:
- DIRECTIONS Prepare rice according to package directions. Let cool. While rice is cooking, grate orange peel, then cut orange in half and juice. In small saucepan, combine apricots, orange peel and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Mix rice, apricot mixture, pecans and mint. Refrigerate for two hours.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: Wild rice and brown rice have different cooking times and textures, so be sure to choose the right type for your recipe.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which can make the rice sticky.
- Use the correct ratio of water to rice: The ratio of water to rice will vary depending on the type of rice you are using. Generally, you will need about 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce the heat to low after adding the rice: This will help the rice to cook evenly without burning.
- Cover the pot and let the rice cook undisturbed: Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this will release steam and prevent the rice from cooking properly.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make them fluffy.
